Chapter 185 The difference between Miao and Li
"Abao, how long will it take for us to get to Miao Village?"
Zhao Hongtao, who was driving on the car on the mountain road, would have regretted why he had eaten so much just now. Because the car that was constantly changing direction made him dizzy. If Abao hadn't stopped the car and let him rest for a while, Zhao Hongtao would have vomited on the car at this time.
"Boss Zhao, it's more than half an hour to get to that village. I'll drive faster..." Abao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he looked at Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi sitting in the back row from the reversing mirror.
You know, this is not the first time Abao has brought people into the mountain. It is estimated that nine out of ten people who are driving on such mountain roads have reactions similar to Zhao Hongtao, but the young man who has not spoken much surprised Abao. He did not show any motion sickness at all.
"Don't, don't drive quickly, I'm going to vomit..." After hearing Abao's words, Zhao Hongtao didn't care about his identity and started shouting. He felt a sense of disgust in his stomach and almost sprayed out the lunch food.
Now Zhao Hongtao understood why Man Jun dared not drive that business car, because those who were used to driving in the city could not cope with such winding mountain roads. If you accidentally fell into the cliff valley next to you.
"Stop, I'm going to vomit..." After turning a corner, Zhao Hongtao could no longer hold it back. As soon as the car stopped, he pushed open the car door and vomited. He really didn't expect that the mountain road here would be so difficult to walk.
"Brother Zhao, look at the scenery here to relieve dizziness..." Fang Yi also got out of the car after Zhao Hongtao, patted Zhao Hongtao's back with his hand, and quietly passed a trace of true energy into it.
"Hmm? Does this work?"
As the true energy emitted by Fang Yi overflowed into his body, Zhao Hongtao only felt his mind clear. The dizziness and dizziness just now suddenly weakened a little. Looking along the place where Fang Yi's fingers, his eyes suddenly became brighter.
To be honest, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, the scenery in the mountains is indeed very beautiful. Wherever you see, the evergreen mountains are full of green. Various plants unique to Qiong Province are scattered in the valleys, and tall coconut trees interspersed in it, showing a picture of the southern scenery.
"It's indeed useful, the feeling of chest tightness is much better..."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hongtao only felt his mind clearer and said embarrassedly: "Old man, Bao, let's stay for a while. Now that I'm leaving, I'm afraid I'll vomit again..."
"It's okay, there are only more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads. Let's walk slowly, there's no hurry..." Abao got out of the car now, took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhao Hongtao.
"Brother Zhao, you are much better than me..." Although Man Jun, who had been sitting in the passenger seat before, was a little stronger than Zhao Hongtao, his face was pale now, especially after seeing Zhao Hongtao's vomit, he almost vomited it out.
"Abao, Fang Yi, let's take a few steps forward. The scenery here is really nice..."
If it weren't for hearing Abao that there were more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads, Zhao Hongtao would have wished to walk over with his feet. Moreover, this section of road was just on the top of the hillside. Looking at the scenery in the distance, it made people feel relaxed and happy.
"Okay, I'll accompany you, let Brother Man drive behind you..." Abao nodded and signaled Man Jun to go to the driver's seat.
Anyone who knows how to drive knows that people who are sick usually don’t feel dizzy when driving, so Man Jun has made several requests to change his driving with Abao. However, Abao is afraid that Man Jun is not familiar with the mountain road and has never agreed. However, now he is slowly following behind and slipping around, so Abao is not afraid of something happening.
And at this time they have penetrated into the mountains, and it is often rare to encounter a car here one day, so although the mountain road is very narrow, there is no need to worry about car accidents or other things.
"Brother Bao, what are the thin and tall trees called? Are they also coconut trees?" Walking on the mountain road extending upwards, Fang Yi pointed to a thin and tall plant on the hillside on the right and asked Abao.
These plants look a bit like coconut trees, but they are several sizes smaller than coconut trees. The trunk is only the size of an arm, and the fruits on the top are also very small, with the tips on both ends and large in the middle, which looks similar to the shape of an olive.
"That's not a coconut tree, it's a betel-giving tree..."
Abao looked at Fang Yi's finger and said, "This place is still at the foot of the mountain. It is a gathering place for the Li people. These betel trees belong to them, but some Li people living on the mountain do not have betel trees..."
"All of them are from the Li people? That's really a lot..." After hearing Abao's words, Fang Yi smacked his lips. They drove into the mountain for about half an hour. Almost all the betel-giving trees were found in the eyes, and there were at least tens of thousands of them.
"What Li people have been born? If they were so diligent, they would have become rich long ago..."
Abao curled his lips and said, "These are all wild betel trees, but they are just in the gathering areas of the Li people in the mountains. They live in a relatively scattered manner, so many Li families occupy a large area of mountain land and have picked up this for nothing."
"Abao, are the Li people really lazy?"
It was not the first time that Abao said that the Li people were lazy, Zhao Hongtao felt very strange. Some ethnic minorities he knew were basically very hardworking, and living in a relatively harsh environment, lazy people could not survive at all.
"Lacky, they don't want to work, so they drink and eat meat if they have some money..." Abao nodded and said, "The village we passed by, which still lives in thatched huts, is a village of the Li people. They really guard Baoshan beg for food..."
Abao obviously doesn't look down on the Li people, and he also told Fang Yi and Zhao Hongtao a real thing.
Abao has a partner who specializes in Xingyue Bodhi, who is the Li people. The three brothers of this Li family have 80 acres of mountainous land full of betel trees. The income from betel trees alone is more than 100,000 yuan per year. However, the business model of these three brothers is shocking.
Their brothers and three live on the mountain. Except for the third brothers and three who would pick some red vine fruit trees from time to time because of their interest, that is, the Star Moon Bodhi for processing, the other brothers never leave their homes. They either drink or sleep all day long, and their bodies are covered with lazy meat.
But these guys are lucky. In recent years, there has been a huge demand for betel nuts in Taiwan and Xiangnan, so they don’t have to do anything at all. Whenever betel nuts are fruit, someone will automatically purchase and pick them, and then settle the money to them.
Abao once kindly gave this brother a few ideas, which was to let them attract some springs from the mountains and water their own betel trees when it was hot, because this would at least increase the yield of betel production by nearly half, and thus, their annual income could also double.
But what Abao didn't expect was that the three brothers didn't take his advice seriously, and they said that they could get so much money by sleeping. They were already very satisfied. With the skill of watering betel trees, it would be better to find someone to play cards or drink some wine.
When Abao heard the strange remarks of these brothers, he was speechless. He never mentioned this since then. If the third brother had not had the convenience and conditions to process the Xingyue, he would have long since not dealt with these people.
"Are the Miao people so lazy?" Zhao Hongtao asked.
"The Miao people are different. They are very hardworking and can live a life..."
Abao shook his head and said, "The huanghuali and Ganoderma lucidum that I bought were basically picked by the Miao people up the mountain. Almost all of these mountains have their footprints, and they lived much better than the Li people..."
As Abao said, when Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi came to Miao Village, they found that the so-called Miao Village was a very wealthy village. Almost every family had brick and tile houses, and cars were parked in front of some people's doors.
